A speed Camera change not changed, why?

Hello,

I updated a speed camera near me, you have it as a 60mph when it has recently changed to 50mph. On the new database it is still set at 60mph, what criteria do you have for changes or was it just too late for this update?

Cheers

Carl

It's possible it's still awaiting verification. Until one of the Verifiers goes near it and confirms the change it'll stay at the old limit. Please bear in mind the verifiers are volunteers who do the verifying during the course of their normal day to day routine. Cameras in more out of the way locations may take longer to verify.

Quick question please? Submitted some camera removals, got the "thank you" email - yesterday cameras were showing on the submissions map with a red cross through them - today they are gone!
Does this mean they have been verified by your hard working volunteers?
Thanks
Doug

Sorry, obviously not clear enough. When I spotted they had gone from the roadworks they were still showing as normal on the map. I submitted three reports and got the email. Then when I logged in a few days later, they had a red cross through them. Today they have gone!!
Certainly not removed six months ago, they are average speed cameras on the M27 and they have only gone in the past week or so as the roadworks are finished. Is this a bit clearer?

Unfortunately, it looks like somebody beat you with their submission for the removal requests for the SPECS cameras on the M27.

Going from your previous messages, I believe that your submissions would have been on or after 14th August (here).

However, remove submissions had been logged for those cameras on 10th/11th August.

The earlier remove submissions have now been processed and verified, hence those cameras are now showing with a red cross.

To expand on MaFt's comments, those removed cameras will be deleted completely from the map, so no icon will show - ie the icon with a red cross will show on the submissions page for 6 months between its removal being submitted & verified and its deletion from the map.

Does this help?

You have to be quick - I reported a camera which still had wet cement around its base and somebody still beat me.

The bloke probably had the shovel in one hand and his Blackberry in the other! Not fair, really, is it?

hi fazeruk. your submissions were to change it to 60mph not 50.

anyway, does this stretch of road specifically say '60' for it's speed or is it a national speed limit? if national then it is 70 due to the dual carriageway.

Maybe i`m missing somthing on the subject of the 2 fixed cameras that are 'incorrectly' speed zoned as 70. I cannot see anywhere in the verifiers database about the cameras needing looked at for a speed change. Should the cameras be submitted as a remove request and a new camera request?

pGatso:46931@60 (change of Gatso:3557@70 to 60mph) was recently rejected as a change because of the presence of NSL repeater signs and the road being a dual carriageway.

For the benefit of MaFt and falkirk81, the verifier's comments may be found here in the verifiers' thread.
